Ever thought about what it’s like to trade your home for a boat and sail the open waters? Kimberly Ward did just that with her family, and she’s here to share every captivating detail. Inspired by a friend's adventure and driven by a desire to create lasting memories, Kimberly, her husband, and their 10-year-old daughter embarked on a two-year journey from Massachusetts to Grenada and back. From overcoming seasickness to finding ways to keep their daughter entertained, their story is filled with challenges that turned into unforgettable experiences.

This episode sheds light on the importance of stepping outside one’s comfort zone and making intentional, often daunting, decisions to pursue bold dreams. Kimberly draws compelling parallels between living on a boat and life in an RV, offering insights into the unique dynamics of her family’s adventure.

Struggling to shed those stubborn pounds after entering the fabulous 40s, or finding yourself lost in the maze of health advice post-motherhood?

Today, weight loss coach Esther Avant joins me to unravel the secret to sustainable weight loss that doesn't hinge on an all-or-nothing approach. Together, we're debunking diet myths and honing in on the mindset shifts that make all the difference. From Esther's insights as a mom and fitness expert to my own tales from the trenches of parenthood, we're getting real about transforming our health habits for the long haul.

Ever feel like you're juggling too much to even think about exercise or proper nutrition? We've been there, and that's why we're simplifying the game. We're talking 'big rock habits,' those key routines that can steer your wellness ship in the right direction, minus the overwhelm. Esther and I break down the essentials of an effective health routine, focusing on daily movement, the role of protein and fiber, and the importance of rest. We're providing you with the tools—like a handy habit tracker—to help slot these habits into your bustling life, one manageable step at a time.

But it's not all step counts and protein grams; we're peeling back the curtain on the subtle elements of weight loss too. Think intermittent fasting, the art of daily weigh-ins, and mastering the mid-afternoon munchies. Our dialogue offers strategies for incorporating grab-and-go protein options into your day and approaches the often-tricky subject of body image and self-talk.
